5 Primetime games & only 3 1pm starts, makes for easy viewing down under. It's a reasonably tough 2nd half of a season though, that 3 game run bookended by Dallas & then Seahawks who we've struggled against for yonks. That 1 seed will take some doing, cant wait.

WK1 W WK2 W WK3 W WK4 W WK5 W WK6 W WK7 L WK8 W WK9 W Wk11 L Wk12 W Wk13 W Wk14 L Wk15 W Wk16 W Wk17 W Wk18 L
Season prediction:13-4
Definitely a biased and optimistic take at first glance. Wk 6 could become a loss simply because of Rodgers but I went with a win because we haven't lost to the jets yet in the regular season. Wk 11 could become a win if the field conditions are much better in Arrowhead than they were in AZ and Desai turns out to be a decent DC. Wk 15 I'm being optimistic that we finally beat the Seahawks in Seattle. Wk 18 is up in the air until we know how close the division race is, may mean nothing and we rest starters or may be important and we need a W to secure division/seed.

The division is long overdue for a back to back winner, might as well be the Eagles;)

I'm at 12-5 for now.
Losses vs Miami, Buffalo, @ Kansas City, @ Dallas and @ Seattle. I'm sure we'll win at least one of those but drop a different game instead.
Schedule is a bitch this year. Just three early games with the eight late games finishing close to 1am when I have work the next day.

I see us splitting our games. The real question to me is if the Giants have finally reached a level where they can threaten to turn it into a three way race.

I think our teams and the 49ers are the top tier in the NFC.
The Giants, Lions, Vikings are next, probably with the Saints and Seahawks.

I'm going with 12 or 13 wins. Hard to say until they all start playing and we see who is and isn't actually good. Who are the surprise teams, etc.

I think the team takes a step back this year.
What should be a tougher schedule and having to depend on a lot of young blood to fill in the holes created by free agency sounds like 10-7 to me.

I won't be surprised if they take a step back. People will be gunning for them. They'll have another year of video on Hurts. Another year of video on what they're doing on offense. On paper, they should be good but you just never know until they start playing. That's why I never get excited (either way) about the schedule. Nobody has any idea on which teams will actually be good and which will be bad. There are always surprises (not many people saw the Eagles coming last season) both good and bad. Once they start playing a few games, we'll have a better idea.

13 & 4 my guess.
Provided the offence stays healthy enough, I think it takes care of business.
The D is where it gets interesting, is the new guy any good, a lot of new faces, so will they take time to get it together is what I'm wondering.

Can Brits/Aussies/Scots compose a sentence without including the word "Bloody?" Deep mystery - the world may never know.

Those 'u''s were there long before Americans started butchering the language;)

The whole "taxation without representation" and "Stamp Act" nonsense were just ruses. It's also why the French gave a shit, incidentally. It was ALL about the spelling. Little known historical fact - sad, but true. So we kicked the pretentious spellers' asses and sent those who refused to repent - to Australia. God, that was fun.
